I wasn’t MGP’s biggest fan but you couldn’t fault his ability to strike the ball with both feet. Up there with the best in that respect.

If that's correct just think for a moment how absolutely ludicrous that is.

Especially when he's allegedly advising our players to join his former club.

One of the best volleyers of the ball I've ever seen. Sad watching that and seeing celebrations with all the cracking players we had then. Also sad seeing Steve Kean celebrate one of them...

Utterly. That means he was above him, but also below him. No wonder nothing got fucking done.

Console yourself mate in the knowledge that it’s the same for Lionel Messi.

And Maradona, Gerson, Puskas, Giggs, I liked playing right back because you knew all you had to do was show the left winger the inside and nothing much was going to happen. Unless they were right footed of course but usually they weren’t. 

One footed right wingers don’t come along often although Meccy was pretty bad in that respect.  Really World class right foot only players don’t come along often either. Jimmy Johnstone was one I can remember. He was really right footed but he had such acceleration from a standing start and he was such a brilliant dribbler with that one foot it didn’t really matter.

Lets get this right, all those saying Lenihan is not a big loss. he was in the Champiionship team of the season. For a rival to pick him up for free is criminal no matter whether you rated him or not.

The end.

He refused to sign the deal rovers offered him !

Couldn’t agree more. Letting Lenihan, Nyambe and Rothwell leave on frees is going to financially burden us for years to come. On decent contracts we’ve let probably over 10M of assets leave for nothing, but don’t have 10M to replace them. Stupidity of the highest order. 

Hindsight-driven fantasy imo.

The last time they were sellable at full value was January 2021. We were pushing towards the top 6, every club was cash-strapped as there were no fans in the grounds, but it was a huge oversight to not sell three of the first names on the team sheet to imaginary buyers because it was obvious they wouldn’t sign new contracts during the next 18 months? Sure.

It’s all opinion, I’d have a strict policy whereby if you’re not signing an extension with 18 months left you’re sold to the highest bidder

If they'd offered him a better one a year or so ago then he might not have i think that's the feeling of many.  Tie your best players down and if he flat out refuses because he wants to leave then sell him.

This has all very conveniently panned out in favour of Middlesbrough it's as if they had someone here encouraging it.

He's bang on the money as well.

That piece of shit agent was the central catalyst for everything bad that followed him filling his pockets.

Was watching an interview of his with Rovers Chat last night. He mentioned how he speaks to the owners and that he was talking to them all the way through our manager search, which I thought was interesting.

He was also scathing in his view of the crocodile tear merchant too, talking about how one man can kill a club and do so much damage. 

Morten's a proper Rover, it was a good listen.

Christ, in that case he probably gets to speak to the owners more than most of our managers do! If he moves into management one day maybe he'll end up managing here...which would be great if he's any good, but bad for many reasons if he isn't.

Better to keep him than take £10 million. As we will lose £2m plus from that anyway to Forest.

£15m minimum I say..

So, Mowbary's huge outlay for an investment nets us a whopping 1 mil on the face of it?

Why we have sell ons added on to a £5 million bid for a then teenager with no first team experience is beyond me. Could you imagine 3 years ago someone coming in and offering £5million for Buttersworth, let alone add ons?

Think Phillips agent is Gareth Seddon, who also seem to represent Dolan. 

Hopefully just looking for a better deal than was originally agreed given Phillips status has been raised.
